Cabalen Bakeshop (sonoma Blvd)

I have been to this restaurant many times in the past, and I am always disappointed if they do not have banana cats on the menu. Thankfully, they do serve it here.

For the first time, I'm not an expert on Filipino food, but I love food and know the difference between something delicious and something bad. I have to say I really enjoyed my meal. The staff were super, very friendly and patient with us. The food was really good, we chose 2 of the combined plates and have a few drinks. My children, who are very picky, enjoyed every bite. You have a nice selection of dishes and desserts. The restaurant was clean and we felt very comfortable here.

My partner called several times to 12/21 to put an order for christmas. when she finally got someone on the phone, she put her order, gave her phone number and cc number. the person who took the call has never called the order to live, never gave a confirmation number. had to learn that the hard way to get our order, which did not even exist. update from 12/31 of the owner glecy has ever made changes, and we are always grateful.

I visited this restaurant expecting an all-you-can-eat buffet, but it turned out not to be one. The prices are a bit high, but the food is decent. The staff struggles with English, making it difficult to communicate with them. I suggest that the restaurant label their food dishes to make it easier for customers to know what they are eating. It seems that many Filipino restaurants lack this attention to detail, which is unfortunate as it could potentially increase their profits.

It is as close as you can get to Southern California goodness when it comes to Filipino food. Too bad they ran out of chicharon. I wish we had more of these pick up turo turo style places. I always come back for their sisig, bicol express and as I say, their chicharon.
